Flows through inhomogeneous (clumpy) media occur ubiquitously in astrophysics, from stellar to cosmological scales. The presence of such inhomogeneities, via their interaction with the global flow, may significantly change the physical, dynamical, and even chemical state of the overall system. However, a similar problem is also of general interest to laboratory fluid mechanics. Moreover, inhomogeneous media, such as foams, are widely used in the studies of inertial confinement fusion (ICF), laboratory astrophysics experiments, etc. A brief account of the analytical theory of the problem of the hydrodynamics of inhomogeneous media as well as the results of the numerical studies, performed with AstroBEAR code will be presented. The possibility of using laboratory experiments for the investigation of the problem and code verification will be discussed. Finally, the case of radiative inhomogeneities, in particular radiative hypersonic cosmic bullets, will be presented.
